IAM Files to Represent All Stock Clerks at US Airways

As the certified representative of the Stock Clerks at US Airways, the IAM has filed an application with the National Mediation Board (NMB) to represent all Stock Clerks at the carrier following its merger with America West Airlines. Stock Clerks from the former America West are currently represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Separately, the IAM is awaiting an NMB decision on whether an election will take place for the combined carrier’s Mechanic & Related employees. Former America West Mechanics are also currently represented by the Teamsters, and US Airways Mechanic & Related employees are represented by the IAM.

The NMB ruled on June 28, 2006 that Stock Clerks are ineligible to vote in a Mechanical & Related election. The IAM immediately asked the NMB to determine if the Teamsters have submitted enough valid authorization cards to warrant a separate Stock Clerk election, but the Teamsters objected, prompting the new application.

“It is our position that the NMB should have automatically certified the Machinists as the representative of the combined Stock Clerks so we could have quickly entered into negotiations to provide them with the benefits of the IAM National Pension Plan,â€￾ said Transportation GVP Robert Roach, Jr. “The Teamsters, having already interfered and delayed the process for Mechanic & Related employees, are now stalling progress for Stock Clerks.â€￾

The IAM is the certified representative for the combined Fleet Service group and their negotiations with US Airways have already begun.

Theres several issues awaiting interpretation...one of which is whether or not any WMD's have actually been reported by the Democratic Party.

The NMB is fully compliant with all WMD laws and understadable reluctant to pass and judgment on such matters.. ???

Then the ibt can negotiate a transition agreement down to the $12.50 an hour top out they got for the west stock clerks!!

You have been listening to 700 to much - company says your current scales are the surviving payrates.

How does anyone raise a family off $12.50/hr?

 

[700UW]

$16.77 for the East, way better then the ibt $12.50.

Your not reading very well, said they would go down to $12.50 in transition talks with the ibt. To match the fine wages they already negotiated. :down: Simple comprehension skills needed.

You are the one that is not listening - the company has repeatedly said that the IAM contract is the surviving document. That means your pay would not go down but you would get rid of the IAM.

I know that. You are missing the point. The greatest benefit of switching to the ibt is you get to keep the iam negotiated pay scales, after they survived 2 bankpuptcies!! Makes one wonder what the great benefit would be??

 

[Awa Contract]

Getting rid of the IAM is a benefit no matter what your position.

 

[BrutallyHonest]

Getting rid of the IAM is a benefit no matter what your position.

Besides gaining what the iam achieved in post bankruptcy wage rates you have come up with tons of valid points to change over to the ibt. NOT!! man you are easy!!
